Needling a patient is a privilege that an accupuncturist earn through vigirous training on multiple subjects and topics. This is an Eastern medicine domain. And mixing the Eastern and Western trandition can have adverse effects. If an adverse effect arise, the P.T. will undoubtedly blame the dry needle tecnique is to blame and therefore cloud the effectiveness of accupuncture as a whole when in trueth their lack of understanding of the settle art of manipulation of needles is best at infancy when required hours is so little. I have to question if they would agree with the TCM doctors manuvers P.T. technique with a few hours of studying as well which rendering their education process as irrelavent as well. The repurcussion is irresponsible and problematic.- respectfully yours Richard Lee
